I called them in a panic, after the sudden loss of my mother in-law. I had searched many other funeral homes, and had become discouraged due to finances and most places being strictly about getting their money and sending you out the door. Distinctive Life staff was both professional and compassionate towards our family. Mr. Scott was available to speak with us any time we needed him, and answered any and every question we had. He went above and beyond in helping us plan a beautiful graveside ceremony to lay our mom to rest. It was a very difficult time for us, and he was respectful and sincere; offering words of encouragement and kind thoughts throughout the entire process. I truly believe finding Distinctive Life was a Godsend, and I don't know what we would have done without their help.

My mother , my best friend and matriarch of our family passed away suddenly back in April. If you are close to your mother then you already know how devastatingly painful this can be. I never in a million years would have thought that my mother would only live to be 61 years old. To have her ripped out of our lives like this is simply indescribable. My family is new to Texas and was referred to sacred by a family member. In the black community who did the body is as important as thanksgiving mac n cheese. I'm So happy that we lucked up and got it right. When I say they did the body!!! They did the body. Sacred funeral home exceeded our expectations not only as a family but as a daughter who deeply loves their mother and only wants what's best for their mother. I am telling you this is the most professional staff that there is when it comes to funeral services. Every single person in that building is kind, professional and human. I felt there was no phony shield between the staff and I. They never once were annoyed by our entourage when I'm telling you I know we were being annoying. Lol especially writing that obituary and swapping our photos every 5 minutes. Or even having too many freaking photos. Not to mention showing up with almost 10-15 people each time we came. Not once did they complain. My mother was so important and everybody wanted to be apart of her last moments. They didn't shame us for this. Myron was like my right hand man. This man is a Jack of all trades. The daughter. We had a special moment together daughter to daughter. She allowed me to privately view my mom before my other family members arrived. She just understood that I needed that time alone with my mother. She understood that from a daughters perspective. None of us talked. Complete silence but in that moment she understood. No words were needed. Mr. dedrick restored my mother back to the point where it was hard to believe she was even gone. This man has the magic touch. He was made for this. It just felt like I knew these people, I felt like they were giving us special treatment but they weren't that just how they are, isn't that crazy? Then the singer/keyboard player I think his name was Jayson, omg he was like my best friend, he was funny he was kind he was compassionate. He was the absolute best. I love these people so much and I am so grateful for the service they gave us. I know for a fact my mother is beyond happy with the service she received. God bless

My family and I have used Williams Funeral Directors twice before, but after this most recent…read moreexperience, we will not be returning. The level of communication, professionalism, and care we received during one of the most difficult times of our lives was deeply disappointing. My loved one passed away on October 2nd, and his cremation did not take place until November 6th with little to no communication from the funeral home in between. It started the night he passed. Their partners took hours to arrive at the house, even though law enforcement had already informed them of his condition and approximate weight. They arrived completely unprepared, and a family member had to help them place his body onto the gurney. It was traumatic and unacceptable. The next day, October 3rd, we arrived on time for our scheduled appointment but were placed in Raul's office while he took a lengthy phone call. He later explained that he had been "looking for a casket large enough," despite not yet knowing our wishes and we did not need a casket at all. Throughout our meeting, he repeatedly joked and attempted to be overly friendly, which felt inappropriate given the situation. One of our requests was to view our loved one one last time, and Raul assured us it could be arranged for the following day. Instead, I received a call the next morning stating that viewing would not be possible "because of his size" and the need to involve a third party, which would result in additional fees. Only after several hours and my firm insistence were they suddenly able to make it happen the same day. Before the services (held eight days after his passing), I confirmed with Raul that a priest and someone to lead the rosary had been arranged. He later informed me that "Maria" from the church could lead the rosary and that I would need to pay her $100 because it "wasn't in the agreement." I reluctantly agreed. It was only afterward that I learned Maria is actually a salesperson for the funeral home. After the services, I asked Raul whether everything had been received from the doctor for the cremation. He said yes and that they were only waiting for the state's approval. Weeks passed with no updates. When I reached out on October 28th, he hurriedly told me they were still waiting on the county medical examiner and claimed he couldn't email me details because he was "out of town." Once again, only after repeated insistence on my part did things suddenly move, and we received the cremation certificate on October 30th. This entire process was far more stressful, confusing, and prolonged than it ever should have been. Losing a loved one is already devastating; families should not have to chase down information, argue for basic services, or experience avoidable delays and miscommunications. We are extremely disappointed in how this was handled and can no longer recommend Williams Funeral Directors based on this experience.
